Mounds View Planning Commission April 5, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 23 Shelley Hill, the applicant stated that her neighbor’s son had inquired regarding why they were cleaning up that back corner of their lot, and she had indicated something would be going in, however, she was not certain if the request would be approved, and therefore, did not elaborate. She stated these would be the only neighbors who would have a good view of the shed. She explained that all the other surrounding properties along the back of their lot have full grown 40- foot evergreen trees lining their property, and one neighbor has a 7-foot woodpile along his backyard, to obscure the view of the neighboring properties. Ms. Hill indicated she did not believe there would be a problem from this neighbor’s perspective, in light of the condition of their backyard. She explained that this property was in the worst condition of all the neighboring properties, and she hoped that this would give them the idea to do something with their back yard as well. She indicated the evergreen trees in her back yard would provide a screen to the other neighbors. Ms. Hill stated she liked to keep her backyard neat, and was proud of its appearance. She indicated she recently purchased two new snowmobiles and has four motorcycles. She stated one of the existing sheds is 6’ by 6’ in size, and has been on the property since they purchased it. She explained that it is in poor condition, and because of the low foundation, it fills up with water in the spring, and they could not utilize it for storage. She stated she had no problem removing both of the sheds. Chairperson Peterson stated he did not see a problem with this request. The Commission concurred. Chairperson Peterson advised that typically they would hold the public hearing at the Planning Commission level as well as the Council level, however, since the notice was not published, and since this item will also be heard by the City Council, the Commission could take action at this time.
